How we handle coloured sealant in Harray
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. We work on shop-fit joinery and counters, natural stone and brick and office fit-out finishes, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs in several different colours and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Harray, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For work in and around Harray, we’d rather do everything on one trip: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Commercial premises in Harray
Harray is within about 2 miles of the coast. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Harray is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For any commercial premises in Harray, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover commercial sites throughout Harray, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 51 places across the Orkney Islands fall within our area, Harray among them.

Different surfaces, different methods
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. We will tell you if a joint needs a non-paintable product.
Brick and masonry
Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in without affecting the joint’s performance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Harray. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- A short trial length can be approved before the full run on visible work.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Common questions from Harray clients
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Harray?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is Harray inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Harray is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Harray
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep the colour details for future repairs
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Give the sealant its full cure time before cleaning or handling the area. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily, so brief cleaners and other trades.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. Consistency makes future work simpler for whoever reseals next.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
